Thumbs up AIM Bug/Trick
If you talk to someone on AIM and they give you an automated message you can warn them once you get the automated message. You should be able to warn them again after talking to them some more and getting another automated message until oblivion. What do you think?

Yea, me and my friends use to have "warning wars" when we were bored, and somebody figured that one out the hard way. You can only warn each person 35% though, and if you do it anonymously, its even less.

I've never understood what the warning level does. I went on an alternate name once and had friends warn me all the way to 100%, but nothing happened. I thought I would be booted off or something but there was no result I could still use AIM without problems and they couldn't warn me anymore.

The higher your warning level, the higher your rate limit. The rate limit is the amount of times you can send messages. When it's really high, you have to wait a few seconds before you can send another message.

Also, if you sign off with a really high warning level, you won't be able to sign back on for a while, not until your warning level falls back down to a certain point.
